Frank E. Webner, Pony Express rider ca. 1861
The Pony Express was a mail service that crossed the Great Plains and the Rocky Mountains between St. Joseph, Missouri and Sacramento, California from April 1860 to October 1861. California's line of communication with the rest of the country was vastly improved with this fast 10 day service.
The piece of mail below was stolen by Indians along the trail in 1860, and recovered two years later, as noted on the document.
